International audienceA large number of epidemiological, cross-sectional and interventional studies present a body of convincing evidences for a prophylactic effect of the regular practice of physical activity on seniors’ brain and cognitive health. Three meta-analyses, gathering data from about 50 random control trials published from 1966 to 2009, clearly show a causal relationship between chronic physical exercise and cognitive performances of elderly, and that the size of this effect is moderate to large. Several cognitive functions such as information processing speed, executive functions and declarative memory seemed to function more efficiently following a six-month program combining 45 minutes of moderate- to high-intensity aerobic e...
